The end of another work week and another farewell drinks to go to...
This time we were off to the Brass Monkey in Northbridge (again, I haven't been there in years!!) to see off my former team leader Adam.
It was a great night. I caught up with Savannah who I haven't seen in a while and found out she is doing much better in her old job - no Godzilla!!
Adam will be missed, but he needed a change (for health reasons...)
I had my two oldest nieces Casey and Kyla stay over last night.
After we'd had pizza for tea and I had painted their fingernails and toenails, I set the DVD going for them - they were watching The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe.
I toddled off to strip & make my bed and do my washing (which I normally do on a Friday night, but since I'd got home later than expected after Colleen's farewell it didn't get done). Not even 2 minutes later they were both in my bedroom because the movie was scary & they wanted me to watch it with them so they wouldn't get scared!!
Every time I had to put another load in the washing machine we had to pause the movie and they would come with me - it was adorable!!
Casey was the first asleep about halfway through the movie (funny because she is the older one) and Kyla was awake to the very end and even watched some of Hellboy which was showing on the TV. I was surprised that Casey managed to sleep because it was raining and she is afraid of the rain!
Both woke me up around 7 this morning (I didn't get to sleep until 3!) - the little shits *grin* and I cooked pancakes for breakfast.
We headed off to the nursery so I could get some plants for my courtyard. They decided they wanted to push/pull the cart around (you know the one, they have only 1 handle and you lift them from the front and either pull or push them...) It was very amusing as they kept dropping it.
We got home and got them planted in time for lunch. I had to watch Hairspray again - last time Kyla was over we watched it 3 times!!
Then it was time to take them home!!
They both want to sleep over during the school holidays, but we will have to wait and see as I may not be here...
Had Colleen's farewell drinks tonight at Tiger Lil's. It's the first time I've been up that end of Perth in years!!
Went past where my old haunt the 'Globe' used to be and Frostbites which was right next door... bought back some memories!!
It was pretty cool at Tiger Lil's, the parasol's dotting the ceiling are gorgeous and even though it was raining, we were under this huge palm tree in the courtyard and didn't get wet.
I left left earlier than the others but still got home later than I expected.
I had 3 birthday party's to get to last night, but only managed to get to 1 of them, sort of...
I knew it was going to be a long night so I had a nanna nap in the afternoon, however, my alarm didn't go off and I woke up just before 7. Belinder, who was up from Bunbury had tried to ring me twice to find out what I was up to. I had just got out of the shower when she rocked up.
We headed over to Danielle's and got there about 9.30 - her family was just leaving, but we ended up staying until just before midnight. I had a party in Jolimont or at the Casino. We decided on the Casino.
Got lucky with the parking & snagged a spot in the free parking area without having to wait. Then before we'd even got inside the Casino, Belinder found $2 while we were waiting in the queue, which she promptly lost playing the Keno slots.
It was about 1am when we decided we were hungry and that it was cheaper if we were a member so we went to join up. Unfortunately Belinder didn't have any id on her so she couldn't join. While we were there she found $20 on the floor!
We headed off to get our food - hamburgers which were cold even though they were just put out :( not happy.
Played some more poker machines and kept playing the credits until I lost the $10 I started with. We ended up calling it a night about 3.30 and headed home to sleep some more.
We will have to do it again soon!!
